Quote - Someone I suppose has to say it, so I will......... after I put on my full kevlar suit :)

Granted a lot of people use Poser as a hobby, which is perfectly fine (and much enjoyed).   However, if you are looking to use it professionally, keep in mind a render made in poser in an hour isn't likely to go over too well.   Remember, someone willing to put out cash for something isn't very likely to pay anything for something they've already seen.   Canned poses, hair, clothing and other figures that are way overused.   It might be unique to "you", but its  a good bet if you bought it, or got it for free, they've already seen it (a trillion times).

You will not, by any stretch, make the kind of money say, as an oil painter selling an original, who took five or six months to make it.   This is not to say 3d artists cant make that kind of money, or dont spend that kind of time.   However, as stated above, if you "threw together" a scene and rendered it and the worktime is less than two hours.......... er......... unless you were struck with great fortune and inspirational magic, you see what I'm saying.

Make it original.  Make it tell a story (or the story your comissioner wants you to tell), and put pride behind it.   You can see instantly what images have "something cooking" going on there, and what don't.   

The best advice i can give you is, don't make art for the sake of making art just because you have the tools.   Make art that IS art, and it will sell, one way or another.  Know what it is you want to create, and create it......... not for a pressure to make money, or some lofty goal, but for the love of art itself.  Do this, and you'll be recoginzed, and recongnition is the whole point in gaining an audience, a following.......... and a paycheck eventually.

 

O.o there are quite a few digital artists that make more then most traditional oil painters.
also just like poser how many times has that oil painter been told "they don't need another sofa painting" and rejected because it is not "modern" enough?
and I hate to say this but there are many many MANY people out here that use poser and get very "professional" results.(with and without post work)
that is why I said it has to be -worked- and worked hard.
People need to stop and realize for a moment that art, be it traditional or digital or what ever, takes work.  and trust me as I have oil painted(and make jewelry and carve..) that digital is not "easier" then "traditional oils" or anything else. they all take very real effort and work.
and that includes poser..most definitely.
